Nuggets mascot lawsuit, compost confusion, book ban update, live poetry this weekend
Description
Denver City Council will vote on whether to require businesses, events and apartments to compost, but they may not realize how much work it would take to reduce the city’s impact on landfills. Then, as the school year starts, banned books have been put back on the shelf in one Colorado district. Plus, a man who performed as the Nuggets’ high-flying mascot is suing the team. And, ideas for your weekend, including a poet laureate performing.
This episode of Colorado Today is hosted by Bazi Kanani. It’s edited and produced by Mateo Schimpf, Stephanie Wolf and Kiara DeMare. The executive producer is Rachel Estabrook. Theme music by Pedro Lumbraño.
